Tides in Rhodes
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 6:04 am 0.3 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 11:59 am 0.8 ft
- ▼ Low tide 5:26 pm 0.5 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:53 pm 1.1 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 11 min to high tide at 11:59 am.
In Rhodes the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.7 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on August 13 (1.5 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.0 ft).
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

The sea at Rhodes
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.6 ft
- Significant1.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 4.3 ft with a period of 5 s, from the southeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.7 °F).

Surf in Rhodes today
Surf today
Flat- Barely any waves (0.9 ft sets): flat
- Light offshore wind (7 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
It’s flat today: almost no waves reach this coast.
- Light: First light 6:01 am · sunrise 6:27 am · sunset 5:14 pm · last light 5:41 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 75.2 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.
Diving in Rhodes today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- 0.9 ft swell at 5 s from the south-southwest: barely any surge
- Light cross-shore wind (6 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the northwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: fair. Rain (1.45 in) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 75.2 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: good, calm sea and light wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:41 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 7:41 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
In Rhodes the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Rhodes
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:27–3:27 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:00–4:00 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:48–10:48 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:11–8:11 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,000 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.55 mi.

- 66 ft deep1,150 ft
- 164 ft deep0.55 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 7.9 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,000 ft and 66 ft at 1,150 ft from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
